The Upper Peninsula, Michigan

Great Outdoors

The Upper Peninsula is truly an outdoors person’s destination. There is not a single place where you won’t experience the splendor of nature and how it strengthens relationships with family and friends.

While there are several national sites throughout Michigan, our state only has one national park, Isle Royale. This archipelago wilderness (a chain of islands) in Lake Superior is one of our country’s 10 least visited national parks. That’s what makes it wildly wonderful.

Where it’s located: Isle Royale is 53 miles north of Copper Harbor. Of its 133,782 acres, 132,018 are designated wilderness. It is one of the few places in Michigan where you could see moose and gray wolves.
